Collector Insights

Rare Candy is an Item card from the Sword & Shield Promos set, released on November 1, 2019. It is numbered 52 and classified as a Promo rarity, designed by artist Yoshinobu Saito. The card’s flavor text describes a mechanic allowing players to evolve a Basic Pokémon by placing a Stage 2 card from their hand onto it, bypassing the Stage 1 evolution step. This effect applies only if the chosen Basic Pokémon is in play and the Stage 2 card evolves from it. The card cannot be used during the player’s first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was recently placed into play. Its unique function aligns with the set’s theme of strategic evolution mechanics. As an Item, it serves as a special tool for manipulating Pokémon evolution during gameplay. The card’s design and functionality reflect the promotional nature of its release.

Choose 1 of your Basic Pokémon in play. If you have a Stage 2 card in your hand that evolves from that Pokémon, put that card onto the Basic Pokémon to evolve it, skipping the Stage 1. You can't use this card during your first turn or on a Basic Pokémon that was put into play this turn.
